Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pipe compressing and coiling device and method.
- the invention also relates to a pipe decompressing and uncoiling device and method.
- the invention has been developed for use in the transportation of long continuous lengths of thermoplastics pipe.
- the principle application of the invention is with high density polyethylene pipes without outside diameters of over 200 millimetres which are used in the collection, carriage and distribution of fuel gas.
- the invention is also suitable for use with other materials such as water, sewerage, oil or slurry and in pipeline applications utilising polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutylene or other thermoplastics materials.
- thermoplastics pipe onto a drum for the purpose of transporting long lengths.
- increasing the transportable length of pipes reduces the frequency at which joining is required, which advantageously reduces installation time and cost; reduces the number of sites where leaks or other joint failures could occur; and improves safety.
- the minimum coiling diameter before buckling or kinking will occur is approximately 20 times the pipe's outside diameter.
- Coiling high density polyethylene pipe with an outside diameter of greater than 200 millimetres requires at least a 4 metre inner coil diameter and is generally considered impractical due to regulatory restrictions on road transport load widths and heights.
- a known approach to reduce the minimum cooling diameter involves using a pair of opposing belts, prior to a pipe coiler, to compress the polyethylene pipe in a direction parallel to the rotational axis of the drum around which the pipe is to be coiled. This has the effect of increasing the pipe's second moment of inertia relative to its coil-bending axis.
- the pipe is coiled, the induced bending stress returns the pipe to a largely circular, shape. This process reduces the minimum coiling diameter before buckling or kinking will occur to approximately 11 times the pipe's outside diameter.

- Figs. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of a pipe compressing and coiling device 10 for use in the transportation of long continuous lengths of high density polyethylene fuel gas pipe.
- the device 10 can also be operated as a pipe decompressing and uncoiling device as will be described below.
- the device 10 includes a chassis or frame 1 1 formed from a steel base plate 12 and four steel beams 14.
- the frame 1 1 can be mounted to a truck or trailer for road transportation.
- the device 10 includes a steel storage drum 16 with an outside diameter of about 2.2 metres and a width of about 3.5 metres.
- the drum 16 rotates about a longitudinal axis x- x.
- the drum 16 includes two end flanges 17 of about 3.8metres in diameter.
- the drum 16 is supported by a pair of braces 18 which are mounted to the base plate 12.
- the drum 16 can be rotated clockwise or counter clockwise, as indicated by arrows 19, in response to the energising and control of a drum motor 20.
- the drum motor 20 can be electrically or hydraulically powered.
- the device 10 also includes a pipe head, indicated generally by the reference numeral 22.
- a pair braces 24 extend from the base plate 12 and support a bar 26 which extends parallel to the axis x-x.
- the pipe head 22 is mounted for reciprocating driving back and fourth along the length of the bar 26, as indicated by arrows 27a, and also for pivotal movement around the bar 26, as indicated by double headed arrow 27b.
- the pipe head 22 includes first, second, third and fourth pairs of rollers 28a, 28b, 28c and 28d respectively.
- the roller pairs 28a, 28b, 28c and 28d are driven by a roller motor 30, which can also be electrically or hydraulically powered. As will be described in more detail below, the roller pairs 28b and 28d are used for pipe compression and the roller pairs 28a and 28c are used for pipe decompression.
- FIG. 5 shows the substantially round cross section of the (non compressed) pipe 32.
- the compressing and coiling process occurs in several stages, with the first step being the energising of the roller motor 30 to drive the four roller pairs 28a, 28b, 28c and 28d in counter rotation with another.
- the substantially round pipe 32 is then fed into the first roller pair 28a which grips the pipe 32, as shown in View B of Fig. 5, and drives the pipe 32 into the second roller pair 28b.
- the second roller pair 28b then compresses or flattens the pipe 32, in a direction that is substantially normal to the longitudinal axis x-x of the drum 16, into a substantially oval cross sectional shape oval having a shorter cross sectional dimension that is about 70% of the original diameter of the pipe 32. This is shown in View C of Fig. 5.
- the second roller pair 28b then drives the compressed pipe 32 into the third roller pair 28d which maintains the compressed pipe's geometry, as shown in View D of Fig. 5, and then drive the compressed pipe into the fourth roller pair 28d.
- the fourth roller pair 28d further compresses or flattens the pipe 32, in a direction that is substantially normal to the longitudinal axis x-x of the drum 16, into a substantially oval cross sectional shape having a shorter cross sectional dimension that is about 35% to 40% of the original diameter of the non compressed round pipe 32.
- the substantially oval shaped compressed pipe 32' is then fed onto, and tangentially attached to, the drum 16.
- the roller motor 30 is then disengaged and the drum motor 20 is engaged and energised to rotate the drum in a clockwise direction (relative to Fig. 2) to coil the compressed pipe 32' around the drum 16.
- Axial tension is maintained in the compressed pipe 32' as it is coiled around the drum 16 by the frictional drag of the roller pairs 28a, 28b, 28c and 28d.
- the pipe head 22 is reciprocated, as shown in Fig. 3, along the bar 26 in the direction parallel to the longitudinal axis x-x to cause the compressed pipe to be spirally wound onto the drum 16.
- a single layer of spirally wound compressed pipe 32' is shown in Fig.
- the device 10 advantageously increases the maximum lengths of a piece of the pipe 32 that may be transported on a truck or trailer meeting road transport load width and height restrictions in two ways. Firstly, the compressing of the pipe 32 into a substantially oval or elliptical shape 32' moves the inner and outer surfaces closer to its neutral plane, thereby reducing the differential tensile and compressive stress generated within the pipe wall that lead to buckling or kinking when wound around a tight coiling radius. As a result, the minimum diameter of the drum 16 around which the pipe is coiled without buckling or kinking can be reduced from the existing approximately 11 times the pipe's non-compressed outside diameter to about seven times the pipes diameter.
- the compressed pipe 32' itself occupies a cross sectional area that is less than the pipe 32 when in an uncompressed round state.
- a pipe ovalised by compressing its diameter by 45%, such that it's form assumes an elliptical shape occupies only around 65% of the volume of space of the same pipe in circular form.
- Fig. 4 shows the drum 16 with about six layers of compressed pipe 32' spirally wound therearound.
- the decompressing and uncoiling process begins by disengaging the drum motor 20 and energising the roller motor 30 to drive the rollers in the opposite direction to that previously described. This draws the pipe 32' away from the drum 16 and towards and through the rollers pairs 28d, 28c, 28b and 28a respectively.
- the compressed pipe 32' is driven by the fourth roller pair 28d, as shown in View E of Fig. 5, into the third roller pair 28c.
- the third roller pair 28c applies a compression force, as shown in View D of Fig. 5, in a direction parallel to the axis x-x. This causes the pipe 32' to be re-rounded by approximately 30%.
- the third roller pair 28c then drives the compressed pipe 32' into the second roller pair 28b, as shown in View C of Fig. 5.
- the second roller pair 28b then drives the compressed pipe 32' into the first roller pair 28a which applies a compression force in a direction parallel to the axis x-x, as shown in View B of Fig. 5.
- the roller head 22 pivots in the direction of arrow 27b as the layers of the pipe 32' increase or decrease around the drum 16 to ensure that the pipe 32' is tangential to the drum 16 or adjacent layer of coiled pipe 32'.
- Fig. 6 shows a second embodiment of a pipe compressing and coiling device 50 for use in the transportation of long continuous lengths of high density polyethylene fuel gas pipe.
- the device 50 can also be operated as a pipe decompressing and uncoiling device.
- the construction and operation of the device 50 is similar to that of the device 10 and like features are indicated with like reference numerals.
- the device 50 uses a pair of opposed tractor belts 52, of high friction elastomeric material, to compress the pipe 32 in a single stage.
- the belts 52 also decompress the compressed pipe 32' in a single stage.
- Fig ; 7 shows a third embodiment of a pipe compressing and coiling device 60 for use in the transportation of long continuous lengths of high density polyethylene fuel gas pipe.
- the device 60 can also be operated as a pipe decompressing and uncoiling device.
- the construction and operation of the device 60 is similar to that of the device 10 and like features are again indicated with like reference numerals.
- the device 60 uses a linear servo motor 62 to reciprocate the pipe head 22 back and fourth along the length of the bar 26.
- Fig. 8 shows a first embodiment of a prime mover and trailer arrangement 70.
- the arrangement includes a track type prime mover 72, a first trailer 74 and a second trailer 76.
- the first trailer 74 carries the drum 16 of the compressed pipe 32'.
- the second trailer 76 carries the pipe compressing and coiling device 10.
- Fig. 9 shows a second embodiment of a prime mover and trailer arrangement 80.
- the arrangement 80 includes a truck prime mover 82 and a trailer 84.
- the trailer 84 carries a pair of the drums 16 of the compressed pipe 32'.
- Figs. 10 to 13 show a fourth embodiment of a pipe compressing and coiling device 90 for use in the transportation of long continuous lengths of high density polyethylene fuel gas pipe.
- the device 90 can also be operated as a pipe decompressing and uncoiling device.
- the construction and operation of the device 90 is similar to that of the device 10 and like features are again indicated with like reference numerals.
- the device 90 uses first, second, third and fourth pairs of calendar rollers 92a, 92b, 92c and 92d respectively.
- the calendar rollers 92a-92d are mounted offset from one another, or about an arc, such that they induce (ie. crank) a curvature into the pipe 32 that is complimentary to the coiling axis x-x. This curvature assists in the coiling process.
- the roller head 22 of a device used only for pipe compression and coiling only requires the compressing roller pairs 28b and 28d and the roller head 22 of a device used only for pipe decompression and uncoiling only requires the decompressing roller pairs 28a and 28c.
- the decompression or re-rounding rollers can be ovalised in the vertical plane to compensate for viscoelastic creep that occurs whilst the pipe is wound onto the drum.
- the rollers can also be coated in a high friction material, such as polyurethane, to avoid slip during coiling and uncoiling.
- the device can also use more than more than 3 sets of rollers for coiling or uncoiling.
